LINCOLN

Symphony of Lincoln was recently purchased by Generations Healthcare Network and is now known as Generations at Lincoln.

Vice President of Business Development Kate Arebalo says, “As a part of our commitment to the Lincoln community, Generations Healthcare Network is dedicated to enhancing the experience and amenities for those we care for.”

As they work to enhance the home, plans are in the works for possible renovations. Arebalo says, “With the help of architects and project designers, Generations is actively exploring renovation and design concepts.”

Arebalo says, “In the past two years, Generations has successfully completed three state-of-the-art renovations and expansion projects within client facilities. While each project is unique, the consistent theme is the need to address the changing environment of rehabilitation in a skilled nursing setting, offering those we care for the privacy and comforts of home, with spacious living quarters and a state of the art therapy center.”

Generations Healthcare Network has a long history of providing consultation services. It was established as SIR Management in 1991 and “rebranded” as Generations Healthcare Network in 2015. Generations Healthcare Network evolved as a brand to better recognize and to more accurately showcase and promote the respective network facilities' clinical specialties, home like environments, and above all their dedication to care.

Arebalo says, “consultative services include clinical services and standards of nursing practice, staff development and retention, dietary and physical plant operations, business development, and financial operations including reimbursement, accounts receivable collections, billing and payroll.”

Generations Healthcare Network provides consultation services in approximately 15 locations geographically dispersed throughout Illinois and Indiana. The client facilities offer a variety of senior living and specialty care options which include but are not limited to short term rehabilitation, skilled nursing, ventilator support, and on-site dialysis, and post-acute care.

The post-acute care is centered on recovery and rehabilitation with residents receiving individualized, intensive therapy from occupational and physical therapists. Arebalo says this intensive therapy is “designed to restore strength, enhance balance skills, improve physical and cognitive function and promotes independence in activities or daily living."

Services at the Lincoln facility also include Short-Term Rehab, Long-Term Rehab, Orthopedic Rehab, Respite Care, Ventilator Care, Tracheostomy Care, Advanced Wound Care, and Cardiac Rehabilitation, and these services will continue.

Generations Healthcare Network's tag line reads "Our family taking care of your family for Generations to come.” Arebelo says, “it is more than just a tag line - it represents our core belief in family values and the trust that generations of families have placed in us. Generations Healthcare Network facilities have successfully adopted both a clinical and a familial philosophy of care that not only meets the challenges of the ever evolving and changing senior specialized healthcare landscape but exceeds them as well.”

The Generations website says, “Generation Healthcare facilities’ uniquely qualified professionals are continually cultivating new concepts in its unyielding endeavor to achieve quality, safety and comfort for its currents residents.”

Generations hopes to continue providing quality care to the residents of the facility. Arebalo says, “We are very excited to host upcoming events, including a grand reopening, allowing the community an opportunity to see what Generations is bringing to Lincoln."
